For sure, a collector will invest, he will not purchase, there is a big difference. Especially pertinent, in the present international financial disaster we are experiencing, is the go back to 'concrete assets'. Money and interest are not performing currently. Gold has actually increased and so too has Automobilia. Collectors will regularly inspect the auction results and other data sources for additional 'possessions' to embellish their collections. It is apparent that the collection of Automobilia, across the board, has actually increased substantially which itself produces a protected asset.
